Melt grafting of itaconic acid (IA) onto an ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM) with various organic peroxide initiators was performed. Finding the optimum mixing conditions and concentration of ingredients is critical for effective grafting and optimum properties of grafted materials. This study focused on the effects of mixing conditions (temperature and time), initiator type/concentration and monomer concentration on the grafting degree and efficiency, melt flow index, and gel content of EPDM-g-IA. The initiator, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butyl peroxy)-hexane (T-101), appeared to meet for the best grafting degree (1.91%). The grafting degree increased markedly by increasing the amounts of monomer IA and initiator T-101. The grafting degree also increased by increasing mixing temperature and time. The optimum monomer and initiator concentrations and reaction temperature and time were found to be about 5wt%/0.05wt% and $160^{\circ}C$/15min, respectively. It was found that the physical properties of EPDM-g-IA were higher than those of the pristine EPDM.

Melt grafting of citraconic acid (CCA) onto an ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM) with various peroxide initiators was performed using a Haake Rheocorder. Finding the optimum running condition and concentration is critical for effective grafting and performance of grafted material. Therefore, this study focused on the effects of mixing (reaction) condition and monomer/initiator dosages on the grafting degree, grafting efficiency and crosslinking degree (gel content), melt flow index and mechanical properties of CCA-g-EPDM. As the grafting degree/crosslinking degrees increased, the tensile strength increased significantly, but elongation at break and melt flow index decreased. The initiator 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butyl peroxy)-hexane (T-101) appeared to meet for the best grafting(2.31%). The grafting degree increased markedly with increasing monomer CCA/initiator T-101 contents. The grafting degree also increased with increasing mixing temperature/time, and then leveled off or decreased/increased a little. The optimum monomer/initiator dosages and reaction temperature/time were found to be about 5/0.05 wt% and $180^{\circ}C$/15min, respectively.

Selective laser melting (SLM) manufactures an alloy using laser as a heat source, and has recently been introduced in the dental industry. However, there is a lack of analytical research on metal-ceramic restorations achieved by SLM. This study evaluates and compares the metal-ceramic bond strength of Co-Cr alloys produced by selective laser melting and casting methods. Co-Cr samples required for this study were produced through the sintering process of ceramics, by applying the SLM and CAST methods. The metal-ceramic bond strength was measured by applying the shear bond strength test. In order to determine the area fraction of adherent ceramic, Si content of the specimen was measured using scanning electron microscopy SEM/ EDS. Results of the metal-ceramic bond strength and AFAC were analyzed by t-test (α = 0.05). No significant difference was observed comparing the bond strength of SLM and CAST Co-Cr alloys (P> 0.05). However, the SLM group had much better ceramic adherence than the CAST group (P < 0.001). Moreover, oxidation characteristics were similar for both SLM and CAST Co-Cr alloys, but metal structures were different. These results imply that although the bond of ceramic and Co-Cr alloy is not related to the manufacturing method, SLM alloys impart better ceramic adherence. This indicates that alloys made with SLM can be used to fabricate upper implant prostheses in the future. In particular, it is expected to overcome the shortcomings of the CAST method, and save time and cost.

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology is state-of-the-art additive manufacturing process technology that produces a three-dimensional structure by irradiating a laser on a fine metal powder to perform the fusion of a specific area and repeat this process. Owing to the characteristics of the additive manufacturing process, the melting phenomenon of the metal material by the laser has directionality depending on the process conditions, such as the irradiation direction of the laser and the build-up direction. For this reason, the composition of the metal material in the structure exhibits non-uniform characteristics. In this study, aluminum (AlSi10Mg) specimens were manufactured by applying SLM technology, and the material composition characteristics of the specimen were analyzed. The specimens were manufactured as cylinders by the build-up orientation of 0°, 45°, and 90°. The surface morphology of the specimen plane was analyzed optically. TEM analysis was performed on the core and the interface of the melting-pool inside the specimen generated by laser irradiation. The analysis results confirmed that there was a difference between the nano cell structure of the core and the interface of the melting-pool, and that the composition ratio of Si appeared higher at the interface than at the core of the cell.

Fluid inclusions in amethyst from the Samcheonpo amethyst deposit of the Waryongsan area, Kyongnam generally grouped into four different types: Type I (liquid-rich and $10{\sim}23wt%$ NaCl, $Th=289{\sim}359^{\circ}C$), Type II (vapor-rich and $2{\sim}10wt%$ NaCl, $Th=304{\sim}365^{\circ}C;$), Type III (halite-bearing, $31{\sim}54wt%$ NaCl, $Th=259{\sim}510^{\circ}C;$), and Type IV ($CO_{2}-bearing\;9{\sim}13wt%\;NaCl,\;126{\sim}277^{\circ}$). Type I, II, and III inclusions are confined in the lower part of the amethyst and Type IV in the upper, which indicates significant hydrothermal activity during the earliest stage of the amethyst growth or the solidus condition of granitic rocks. The earliest fluid exsolved from the crystallizing granitic magma formed Type IIIa which is spatially associated with silicate melt inclusions. The homogenization behavior of Type IIIa inclusions by dissolution of the halite crystal after the bubble disappearance indicates that Type IIIa inclusions were trapped at some relatively elevated pressure. Exsolution of Type IIIb, I, II forming fluids with gradual decrease in their salinity was followed. The last fluid was $CO_{2}-bearing$ fluid (Type IV), which is assumed to be derived by decarbonization reactions with the surrounding sedimentary rocks. It suggests that the fine-grained granitic rocks containing the Samcheonpo amethyst crystallized at the sub-solvus condition saturated with water and exsolved abundant water.

Target parameters such as water solubility index (WSI), intrinsic viscosity (IV), water holding capacity (WHC), oil holding capacity (OHC), soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and microstructure were investigated on three different screw configurations during twin-screw extrusion of wheat bran. WSI of raw wheat bran (RWB) was 13.7%, while that of extrudates ranged $16.3{\sim}23.2%$ when extruded using screw configurations with 5 reverse screw elements (RSE). It was found that the moisture content of RWB greatly affected WSI of extrudates. IV of wheat bran extrudates increased from 10.6 ml/g of RWB to $37.86{\sim}44.37\;ml/g$ of extrudates extruded using 3, 4 and 5 RSE, whose trend was highly related to the moisture content of RWB and the extrusion pressure. Multiplication of IV and soluble solid (SS) content exhibited good correlation $(R^2=0.85)$ with specific mechanical energy (SME). The results suggested that SS and molecular size are an important factor governed by the SME in solubilization of wheat bran. WHC increased with increasing feed rate and moisture content, while OHC decreased. SDF increased from 2.68% of RWB to $4.32{\sim}6.48%$ of extruded wheat bran, indicating the significant breakdown of cell wall components. Microstructure of the extrudates showed the distinct patterns of degradation and solubilization of cell wall structure, depending on the moisture content of RWB.

The thermal decomposition of simulated Magnox highly active waste and of HARVEST feed slurries (SW and SG) which include tile glass forming chemicals has been studied. The waste and the slurries are almost completely calcined by 500-55$0^{\circ}C$. The colour of the solids from the slurries varies little until about 90$0^{\circ}C$ when it darkens considerably. The slurries begin to vitrify at this temperature and are completely vitrified at 1000-105$0^{\circ}C$. On the other hand. the sulphate impurity in SN slurry causes a yellow phase to separate above 75$0^{\circ}C$. The density of the intermediate solids is fairly low until 650$^{\circ}$-$700^{\circ}C$ is reached. This temperature seems to mark the onset of fluxing as tile density rises quickly to 2g/㎤ at 700$^{\circ}$ -80$0^{\circ}C$. The strengh of the solids decreases with temperature up to 50$0^{\circ}C$, and then rises as the solids begin to sinter. Below 50$0^{\circ}C$ the SN solids are the stronger. suggesting that the impurity renders this silica more reactive.

최근, 원유 가격의 상승으로 인해 태양에너지에 대한 관심이 크게 증가되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 태양전지용 Si(SoG-Si)의 대부분을 차지하는 태양전지급 다결정 실리콘 원료를 대부분 수입에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 대한 기술적 대응으로서 최근에는 고비용의 기상법을 해결하기 위하여 야금학적인 정련법을 이용한 제조기술 개발이 세계적으로 주목받고 있으며, 야금학적 정련기술은 지적재산권에 관한 기술적 배타성을 제고 할 수 있을 뿐 만 아니라 기상법의 Si 대비 낮은 품위 에도 불구하고 태양전지용 실리콘의 사용가능성을 제시함으로서 활발한 연구와 함께 실용화기술로 대두되고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구는 기존 사용 중인 고가의 기상법 폴리실리콘 제조와 달리, 생산 가격경쟁력이 있는 규석광으로부터 고순도금속 및 태양전지급 폴리실리콘 생산 연속 종전기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 금속급 Si(이하 MG-Si)으로부터 경제적인 SoG-Si을 제조하기 위한 공정 개발을 일환으로 MG-Si 중 불순물인 P 원소를 효과적으로 정련할 수 있는 슬래그 정련기술 개발과 슬래그설계 기술개발을 기본목표로 설정하여 고찰하였다. 용융 Silicon과 슬래그계면에 설정되는 산소분압제어에 따른 슬래그의 P의 이온 안정성을 변화시킴으로서, MG-Si중 P를 분리제거를 기본개념으로 설정하였다. 염기성 산화물로 산소이온이 공급됨을 이용하여 염기도에 따른 분배비를 고찰한 결과, CaO의 활동도가 증가함에 따라 슬래그 중 $O^{2-}$의 활동도와 함께 phosphide 이온의 안정성이 증가함을 확인하였다. 그리고 슬래그로부터 실리콘 중 Ca의 용해도에 따른 분배비를 확인하기 위해 실험 후 Si에서 Ca의 성분을 분석한 결과, 실리콘 중 Ca 용해도는 염기도($a_{CaO}/\sqrt{a_{SiO_2}}$)의 증가와 함께 증가하였으며, Ca의 용해도 증가는 탈린능을 증가시킨다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 수소분압을 변화시켜 인의 증기압변화 및 기화정련 효과를 알 수 있었으며, acid leaching을 통해 잔존해있는 불순물을 추가적으로 정련될 수 있는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

The variation of the reaction pressure and reaction product during the reaction was investigated according to the total mass of the reaction mixture at the optimum composition for the preparation of u-Si3N4 powder which had been confirmed in the former investigation; 'Preparation of $\alpha$-Si$_3$N$_4$ powder in reaction system containing molten salt by SHS - part 1. synthesizing of powder'. When the total mass of the reaction mixture was 100g, the minimum pressure for a complete reaction was 60atm in 5L reactor, whereas the reaction was incomplete in the case that the mass exceeded 200g because of pressure increase. Also, as the mass of the reaction mixture increased, the reactivity linearly decreased. Hence, the complete reaction was realized by decreasing an initial $N_2$ pressure, and thus obtained minimum initial pressure was recorded 20 atm for the initial mixture of 500g. The reason of the incomplete reaction with pressure Increase was found to be that NH$_4$Cl vapour which was suppressed by the gas pressure acted as a diluent.
